Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges #147|Sketch Challenge


Hello and welcome to another Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week we have my favourite challenge a sketch challenge. 


For my submission I have created a scene with the Les Shoppes Suite Collection from 2023-2024 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.
I may have cheated a little and substituted a strip of the Bubble Bath colour ribbon for the strip across the centre of the sketch design as I wanted to keep the design soft. The ribbon has silver thread along the edges so I thought that my pass. This ribbon is one of the three coloured ribbons included in the 3/8" Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack. The other colours in the pack include Azure Afternoon and Lemon Lolly.


My next card is a pop-up shop. The shop folds flat for posting.
My background shop images where stamped in Bubble Bath ink I then applied ink to a stamp block and moved it around my background until I was happy with the result. To build the pop-up I cut a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock 5.8cm x
11.5cm.
I then scored the long side at 1cm, 2cm, 9.5cm &10.5cm.
I stamped a top and bottom storey of the shop in Bubble Bath ink on Bubble Bath cardstock, die cut the shop pieces then adhered the shop pieces between the two middle score lines.
I then positioned my window and door dies on my stamped shop and die cut them out.
I adhered a piece of window sheet to the back for window glass. I then applied tear and tape along the top and bottom edges of the score lines, folded the top and bottom scored flaps inwards and adhered the shop  to my card face. I stamped my interior displays on basic white cardstock, coloured them with my Stampin'  Blends, applied adhesive to their backs and slide them in position lining them up with their respective windows. 



While I was playing with this suite I had an idea to make a cute Christmas Shop. For my Christmas images I have used stamps from the new online only Trucking Along Stamp Set and Punch Bundle. The wreath I trimmed from the Delightful Doily Hybrid Die. (Sorry the little bows are from the Tree Lot Dies which are no longer available, however their coordinating stamp set Trees for Sale is available in the Clearance Rack at the moment.)



I thought It would be a nice idea to include a Gift Card pop-up section in the centre of the card to go with the shopping theme.
